Children’s Care Villages model

The AHO Children’s Care model focuses on holistic care through family-centered and community-driven programs designed to rescue, nurture, and empower vulnerable children—where children and Mamas can thrive.

Core philosophy

Three beliefs that shape everything.

Family-centered care

Children are placed in loving families within Children’s Villages, nurtured by a Mama who raises eight orphaned or vulnerable children as her own.

Holistic development

We meet physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs, helping children grow up happy, healthy, and equipped for leadership.

Identity in Christ

Every child discovers their value and identity in Christ as part of their development — because loved children become whole adults.

Program components

What we actually do, every day.

Children’s Villages

AHO operates villages, each a secure environment where children live in homes with a dedicated Children’s Mother. Each Mama cares for eight orphaned or vulnerable children, creating a family unit of love, care, and stability.

Baby & infants program

Rescues orphaned and abandoned babies (ages 0–2) with specialized care, love, and nutrition. Babies are raised by nannies who act as Mamas.

Holistic development

Food, clothing, healthcare, education, spiritual guidance, and emotional support — so children grow into purposeful individuals.

Neighborhood Mamas empowerment

Vulnerable women receive literacy, discipleship, business skills, and job opportunities to care for themselves and their families.
